day evening at their armory, was one of the
pleasant dances of the week. Minnesota
Grand Canton No. has among IFS members
number of very genial gentlemen, and
their lady friends appreciate the splendid
floor OF the armory for dancing purposes so
that invitations to their parties are always
accepted for at least two reasons. The
Thursday evening socable was one of those
enjoyable offalrs where all present are ac-
quainted, and thus good cheer is assured.
The anniversary ball of this canton will be
given on Thursday evening, Feb. 5, and
promises to be a grand event, as all the
DatriarchS in the state will be invited
If the social status of an entertainment de-
pended so e. on the pleasure il brings to the
participants. then surely the banquet and
hall OF the Jasper club, given at the Nicollet
house, last Wednesday evening. must be
given place in the front rank The colored
people showed themselves fully cognizant of
what is good form, and their department was
up TO the highest standard. The menu of the
banquet was elaborate and was elegantly
served. The toatS, list of which has been
puDnshed in this paper, were responded to
with dignity, gaantry or wit, just as their
subjects suggested. In the dance the colored
gentlemen. almost all of whom were in full
dress, showed themselves worthy disciples of
Terpsichore.
Mistletoe Grove A. o. q. D., held their sec
ono annual social at their rooms, over ia
Hennepin avenue, Wednesday evening Ow-
ing to the unavoidable absence of several gem
tlcmon the programme which had been pre-
pared was set aside, and after few informal
speeches, among which that of DIR. Kilying-
ton was most happy, the evening was de-
voted to dancing and social enjoyment, At
ii o'clock elegant refreshments were served
by the wives and daughters Of the members
OF the grove. One of the pleasantest features
OF the parties OF the Mstletoe Grove is the
presence Of the families of the members.
